Does it have "Slow cooker" function?

No. It's 1500 watt heater element is either on or off. Menu selections determine how long the heater is on and at what point the cook cycle stops to releave the pressure. The cooker can be used for browning meats prior to closing the top to build pressure.

NO. But what I did, is used the delay function timed to come on later. If I didn't make it home when the food was done, the MaxiMatic switches to Keep Warm.

Absolutely. I've owned different slow cookers over the years but I always come back to West Bend. It is without a doubt the best slow cooker I've ever owned.

This item is actually a crockpot not a slow cooker. Usually a removable insert makes it a crockpot.

No. I cut crockpot recipes in half a lot and do not adjust the cooking time...

A dedicated slow cooker is not necessary. Just unplug the device from the sous-vide controller to use it again as a slow cooker.

I wouldn't use it as a slow cooker. Sometimes the area near where the control plugs in can have a hot spot. I was trying to make a roast on low, simmer, and the liquid kept coming to a boil. Crock pot's if you don't have one are the way to go for slow cooking. I have a rival that has an automatic feature that after 4, 6 hrs on high or 8 to 10 hours on low after time is up it goes to warm. Can't beat it for slow cooking. As far at the electric skillet it's great for frying, making pancakes ect. I hope this helps you.

It has three settings: high, medium, and low. It doesn't specify a temperature but if you follow a recipe that tells which setting and the amount of time (which all slow cooker recipes do), it will come out perfect. I've been very impressed.

No. This slow cooker is manual, so it must be physically turned on and off.

Dear Customer，Thank you so much for your interesting with our product.Yes, you are right. it works like slow cooker. but it does not use electricity .You put inner pan on the stove first and make it boiling ,then transfer it inside the pot. It can keep warm about 6 hours.Hope it is helpful for you.Thanks, have a good day!

Hello, I personally have never used low settings to cook. I am sorry I couldn't tell you if it can be used as a slow cooker.

Yes it does, but I have to admit I felt the same way as you do til I started using it. It is very sturdy coating. Not like the cheap non stick pan coating. It has been very durable as you would find in the higher priced non stick pans and clean up is so easy, no scrubbing involved at all. I yet to have even the slightest scratch on the coating and I have used the slow cooker once to twice a week since I have received it. Hope this helps you.

My sister and I both have one, and she was sitting right next to me when your question arrived. We both agreed that this would be perfect in that situation. You can set it on slow cooker function and it will keep warm or turn off when it is done.

There's a recipe site called RecipeGoldmine that has a section for Crockpots and a sub category called Crockettes that has recipes for small slow cookers like this. I think you'll like it.
